MrBilboz

Profile Summary: MrBilboz

Meet MrBilboz, a rapid-fire chess aficionado whose journey on the 64 squares resembles a roller coaster with more twists than a queen’s gambit! Starting with humble Rapid ratings around 179 in 2023, MrBilboz steadily climbed the ladder, reaching a peak Rapid rating of 408 in January 2025. Not to be outdone, his Blitz rating soared to a stunning 485 by late 2024 — a number that might make a grandmaster blink twice.

With over 160 wins in Rapid games and a collection of wins, losses, and draws that tell countless tales of daring attacks and nail-biting finishes, MrBilboz is as resilient as they come. He boasts a longest winning streak of 8 games and even bounces back from setbacks with a "comeback" rate north of 60%, proving that giving up early is simply not in his playbook (though early resignations do happen about 22.5% of the time — hey, every warrior knows when to retreat!).

Strategic Flair & Opening Choices

MrBilboz’s opening repertoire is a curious blend of classical and quirky. Known favorites include the Nimzowitsch Defense (a personal win rate of nearly 59%) and the Scandinavian Defense, which he wields with a little extra swagger over 54% of the time in wins. His tactical knife sometimes swings through the King’s Pawn Opening, with a healthy mix of victories and draws.

Personality & Playstyle

Getting into the mind of MrBilboz, you’ll find a player who is part strategist, part entertainer. While his average moves per win hover around 45, the real drama often unfolds in his endgames, which he reaches in over 42% of matches. Don’t be fooled by occasional blunders or the surprisingly high early resignation rate — this is a player who thrives on the thrill of blitzkrieg and plays with a psychological toolkit that includes a tilt factor of just 7 (for those unfamiliar: that’s fairly calm under pressure).

MrBilboz’s best time to strike on the board is around 3 PM, where his win rate spikes dramatically—perhaps fueled by a perfect cup of tea or some secret chess caffeine. And while he dominates players rated below him with a win rate exceeding 70%, he’s still working on cracking the code against opponents above his rating (they’ve won 75% of their clashes). Every grandmaster’s journey has room to grow!

Recent Highlights (and Lowlights)

Who could forget the sheer audacity of his recent checkmate victory against Bakotak with a lightning-quick queen sacrifice? Or the enthralling marathon win against ardaseremet, showcasing endurance and tactical patience? Of course, even heroes have their defeats: losses came in closely contested battles against prbual and M1k49, reminding us all that chess never sleeps and surprises lurk behind every corner.

In short, MrBilboz is a spirited competitor with a flair for dynamic, sometimes unorthodox play—and an essential ingredient of chess: plenty of heart.
